Piazza Palermo unit’s submetered water/sewer billing is moving from Livable to Livable Pro on December 1, 2026. IMPORTANT: your current automatic payments (ACH) will NOT transfer you must set up a new automatic payment profile in Livable Pro to keep your account on autopay.

What you must do

1. Watch your email (check/Junk spam) for the Livable Pro invitation link (coming soon).
2. Click the invitation link and activate your account.
3. Enter your ACH or card information to re-establish automatic payments.

Key Points:

• Automatic payments will not transfer from Livable — you must re-enroll in Livable Pro.
• Online check and phone payments are no longer supported.
• Online statements are free. Mailed paper statements will incur a $2.00 monthly fee.

Important dates

• November 21, 2026 — Final day to pay bills on the old platform.
• December 1, 2026 — Livable Pro goes live.
• December 21, 2026 — First payment due on the new platform.

Why this matters

Late or missed payments may result in call to hearing for assessing due costs. Per Section 8.6.1 of the CC&Rs, if the HOA must cover an unpaid utility balance, an Enforcement Assessment can be charged to the home. Re-enrolling early helps avoid these fees and keeps your account current.

In compliance with the State of California fire code, a mandatory annual inspection of the Fire Sprinkler system will be conducted in both Common Area and inside each unit of the building.,

Palermo’s fire inspection company, Symons Fire, will require access to every condominium unit for approximately five minutes for the mandatory fire inspection of sprinkler heads and fire alarms on Tuesday, November 3; Wednesday, November 4; and, if necessary, Thursday, November 5, between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Access is required per CC&R Article 4.3.4 (Right of Entry and Enforcement), for the mandatory inspection and test.

Kindly note you are required to provide access to your unit for the entire timeframes noted as we have several units to inspect within a short amount of time. You will not be able to schedule an appointment for this service. If you are not home, a staff member will accompany the fire contractors during the inspections. They will begin from the top floor at approximately 8:00am and work their way down as efficiently as possible.

This testing and inspection is during business hours (8am-4pm) and is anticipated as follows:

Monday November 2nd, 2026, || 8am-4pm
Common Areas Only Fire Sprinkler Inspections/ Fire Alarm Testing
(Audibles may be sounding for the duration of the inspection)

Tuesday November 3rd, 2026, || 8am-4pm
Floors 6-4 In-Unit Fire Sprinkler Inspections/ Fire Alarm Testing
(Audibles will be sounding for the duration of the inspection)

Wednesday November 4th, 2026, || 8am-4pm
Floors 3-1 In-Unit Fire Sprinkler Inspections/ Fire Alarm Testing
(Audibles will be sounding for the duration of the inspection)

Thursday November 5th, 2026, || 8am-Noon
Potential continued in-unit inspections and Common Areas Fire Sprinkler Inspections/ Fire Alarm Testing (Audibles will be sounding for the duration of the inspection)

Please be advised that if you have pets, small children, a medical condition, or important business to conduct, the alarm noise may warrant that you give this consideration when planning your day.

If your unit is not accessible for entry with a functional emergency key on file or by an adult providing access/providing a key, the Association will have to hire a locksmith for entry and the unit owner will be charged for the cost of gaining access or all costs associated with reinspection (approximately $200-$600).

If you have any questions, you may contact Morgan Cooper, the Association’s on-site General Manager at (619) 786-7497. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in maintaining our community!

Living in a community with shared structures means that how you manage your private outdoor space can directly impact your neighbors and the building’s integrity. One of the most critical—yet often overlooked—responsibilities of ownership is maintaining your unit’s established drainage.

Here is what you need to know to keep your balcony, patio, or roof deck in top shape and avoid unexpected repair costs.

What is “Established Drainage”?

Per our community guidelines, established drainage refers to the water flow patterns set during the original construction or those officially approved by the Board. This system is designed to move water away from the building to prevent pooling, leaks, and structural erosion.

Your Responsibilities as an Owner

To ensure the system works as intended, owners are required to:

• Perform Regular Inspections: Frequently check the drainage facilities in your Exclusive Use areas (balconies, patios, and roof decks).
• Clear Debris: Keep drains free of common “cloggers” like pet hair, fallen leaves, and dirt. Even a small buildup can cause water to back up during a heavy rain.
• Avoid Prohibited Materials: Do not install tiles or other flooring materials in Exclusive Use Easement Areas, as these can interfere with the intended water flow.
• Proper Disposal: Never dispose of hazardous materials down these drains.

Why It Matters: The Risks of Neglect

If a drain becomes clogged and is not cleared, it creates an imminent danger to both person and property. Water backup can lead to interior flooding, mold, and damage to the units below yours.

Please note: If an owner fails to maintain their drainage, the Association reserves the right to enter the area to clear the debris to prevent damage. In these cases, the Owner will be responsible for reimbursing the Association for all costs and expenses incurred during the cleaning.

Maintenance Checklist

1. Weekly Sweep: Quickly sweep your balcony or patio with a dustpan to remove pet hair, soot, dust and leaves before they reach the drain. You can use a damp mop to remove further dirt without dripping excess water into the drain and onto balconies below.
2. Monthly Flush: Ensure the drain cover is visible and clear of dirt buildup.
3. Storm Prep: Always check your drains before a forecasted rainstorm to ensure they are wide open and ready for runoff.

By taking a few minutes each month to inspect your space, you help protect your home and our community safe from water damage.

Helpful Tip! Also check that your unit’s door track is free of debris as sliders also have their own drain to keep water from getting in through the door that will not function if there is dirt in the track.

The cost of living and working in Downtown San Diego is a frequent topic of conversation, and this week, we have a direct opportunity to influence a policy that affects us all.

On Thursday, April 16th, the City’s Economic Development & Intergovernmental Relations Committee will meet to discuss modifying the current $10/hour Special Event Parking rate. This rate, while intended to manage traffic during events, has had significant unintended consequences for those of us who call Downtown home.

Why This Matters to Residents

While event parking is often associated with tourists, the current “Special Event Zone” is broad. It often impacts residents’ guests, service providers, and the local businesses we frequent. The Downtown San Diego Partnership and other local organizations are pushing for a reduction and modification of these rates for several key reasons:

• Deterring Local Access: High rates discourage friends and family from visiting and make it harder for downtown workers to commute.
• Economic Impact: When parking costs triple, visitors spend less at our neighborhood restaurants and shops, threatening the vitality of the small businesses that make our community unique.
• Broad Boundaries: The current zone extends beyond the immediate event areas, unnecessarily burdening residential blocks and displacing event traffic further into our neighborhoods.

How You Can Participate

The City Council needs to hear from residents—not just lobbyists—to understand the real-world impact of these parking fees.

• When: Thursday, April 16th, at 9:00 a.m.
• Where: City Council Chambers, 202 C Street, 12th Floor.
• Action: Fill out a green “support” speaker slip (to support modifying the rates) upon arrival. Speakers are typically given one minute to share their perspective.

Can’t Make it in Person?

A virtual participation option will be available once the official agenda is posted. If you have specific questions about the proposal, you can contact Justine Murray, VP of Government Affairs for the Downtown San Diego Partnership, at jmurray@downtownsandiego.org.

Let’s ensure our neighborhood remains accessible and thriving. Whether you speak in person or submit a comment, your voice helps shape the future of our Downtown.
